LOGITECH Bolt USB Receiver

Product Information

So, essentially, we will look across our existing consumer portfolio and be very selective about which solutions we created as ‘for business’ solutions,” Mingori said of Logitech’s ambitions for expanding the Bolt lineup. “And then we’ll build off that as our foundational pillar for this portion of the portfolio. And we’ll expand into new solutions that are completely dedicated for B2B that you wouldn’t see in the consumer space at all — dedicated solutions based on vertical customization, like for health care, education, and other areas.” Logitech unifying receiver has a larger ecosystem of Keyboard and Mouse products relative to the Bolt product line. Peripherals in the Bolt family are more expensive in general. Logitech Unifying is a proprietary 2.4 GHz radio frequency wireless protocol that was developed by Logitech. You can use Bolt receiver with Flow-enabled Logi Bolt mouse to connect with two different computers for multi-computer workflows. This is a powerful feature that reduces the need for multiple keyboards – one for each laptop. For instance you can share one wireless Bolt keyboard and mouse combination across a work and home laptop for instance. Logitech Bolt Compatible Devices I tried to use the Microsoft Windows dictation feature but my language is not supported. Now my typing is garbled or incorrect.

Will Bolt eventually replace unifying receiver? Do you think whatever keyboard we have now will become obsolete by the new dongle? As an aside, we were interested to try the Ergo products since RSI is a real risk for keyboard/mouse warriors. The Ergo keyboard is split which works well provided users type on the right-hand section only with the right hand, and likewise on the left. It is ideal for touch typists who do this already. If your receiver and product have the below logo, you have the Logi Bolt receiver and a Logi Bolt compatible product.

To ensure you are purchasing the right receiver for your device, identify your receiver from below: It appears that Logitech is positioning Bolt for the enterprise market. Bolt does not appear to be compatible with the current Logitech product line. They would have to get the enterprise version of their product that has the word "for business" attached to it (ex: Mx Keyboard for business, MX3 master mouse for business). Note that some devices like the MX Master 3 come in two variants – one for business (Bolt version) and an advanced (Unifying version) device for non-business applications. This becomes important should you misplace or lose the MX Master USB receiver dongle. Conclusion Logitech Unifying Receiver is a USB receiver to connect with the Logitech Unifying mouse and keyboard. It is so tiny that you can leave it in a laptop when you move around. It will stay in your computer, so your mouse is always connected and ready to use. You can connect up to six Unifying mice and keyboards to each computer with Unifying Receiver. This product was officially launched on ‎June 6, 2017. Logitech Unifying Technology Logi Bolt is based on the global wireless standard for simple, secure connectivity, Bluetooth Low Energy Wireless Technology.

The company claims that latency with peripherals connected through Bolt was significantly lower than “other commonly deployed wireless protocols for enterprise.”

The slight angle makes the position of the hands that bit more comfortable and improves posture. A built-in wrist-rest is meant to reduce wrist-bending, and we found it mostly helpful though despite Logitech's videos suggesting typing with the wrists touching the pad, we found it best to use it only when the hands are at rest. The wrist-rest is non-removable and has a gap between pad and keyboard that is a trap for dust and dirt.

The Logi Bolt receiver is Logitech’s next-gen wireless technology that provides a secure and high-performance wireless connection between Logitech Bolt mouse, keyboard and computer. Following the full release of Bolt, Logitech updated its Options app to configure Bolt peripherals, as well as introducing a Bolt applet which allows multiple devices to connect to one receiver and monitor battery levels in the peripherals. Both Bolt and Unifying dongles are replaceable. So if you lose either dongle, you can simply buy a replacement Bolt receiver or Unifying dongle. Your Keyboard or mouse won’t become unusable if you lose the dongle. Logi Bolt app has sharing diagnostics and usage data enabled, although I declined this during the Logitech Options installation.If you lose a Unifying receiver dongle, you could replace it with another one. It is compatible with all Logitech Unifying products. You can recognize Unifying compatible products via the Unifying logo displayed on products. Some products come along with a receiver, but the Unifying receiver should be bought separately if not. The Logitech Unifying Software is used to connect and manage the devices. Logitech Unifying Receiver Mice Corporate policy does not allow use of Bluetooth connections. Can we deploy Logi Bolt wireless products?
